YouTube adventures -83- Let people comment or not?

The comment section below a YouTube video is a good way for the YouTuber to communicate with his or her subscribers. So if you ever had a question for a certain YouTuber then you can try your luck in the comment section and hope that he or she reads the comment and is willing to answer it. But unfortunately there are also people that are offensive and just annoying in the comment section. So it doesn't surprise me that some YouTuber don't want people to comment on their video, which is a missed opportunity in my opinion. YouTubers will have to decide...

Let people comment or not?

 It's easy to prevent people from responding but I don't think that's the right way of handling frustrating people. If you get a lot of hate then you can always block that person if he or she isn't stopping, but to prevent everyone from commenting you also hit the people who just want to ask a question or maybe even have some (positive) feedback for you. So I don't think it's a good idea to prevent people from commenting because you affect everyone with that, both the good and the bad commenters.

The good thing about a small channel is that not a lot of people comment, which means I don't have a lot of issues with the comments. Sometimes there are people that leave unpleasant comments but it has never made me want to prevent people from commenting on my videos. I believe that one good comment is stronger than ten bad ones, mostly because the bad comments are usually from trolls or people who have nothing better to do with their time. So don't be discouraged by a bad comment, it's hardly ever worth getting sad about. A lot of people just click on random videos and if they click on one of your videos and they don't like it then the negativity will soon follow. They don't know you and people are often quick with their judgement, so don't let it get to you!

My advice for everyone who doesn't know what to do with the comment section is to just keep it active. Sure there might be bad comments but hopefully there are also positive comments and in my opinion those are worth going through the bad comments. It's a good feeling when someone enjoys your video or finds your video useful. You never know what kind of effect your video has until you read a comment and someone tells you about it. I wouldn't want that taken away from me and I think most YouTubers wouldn't want that either. So if you truly hesitate about keeping the comment section active or not then I would strongly advice you to keep it active. Don't punish everyone just because of some random douchebags.

Button bashing

It seems that more and more games want you to smash on the buttons of the controller, which seems like fun but knowing that this weak piece of plastic can´t handle much it´s not the smartest way to handle your controller. In the good old arcade days I could smash on buttons, ok nothing too crazy but at least those machines had a lot more resilience than these weak controllers we have now. You have to pay a small fortune for one of them and they fall apart with the slightest bit of force you use. After smashing a couple of controllers out of frustration I learned to be careful with them, but when games force you to be an agressive button basher it doesn´t really help. Button bashing is nothing new but I do seem to see it in more and more games, even games that could easily do without this abusive way of treating your controller. Instead of button bashing people came up with the idea to press a certain series of buttons in a sequence, I first saw this in God of War which was fun. But s...

Movie Monday: Mr & Mrs Smith

There are movie that might not look good at first, when you hear about it, but once you see the movie then you know that it's a fantastic movie. What really made Mr & Mrs Smith so good was the acting of the two main stars in the movie, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. They had so much fun making this movie that it's an absolute joy to watch the movie. Which is good news for people that are looking for a fun movie to watch! Married to a spy? The story of Mr & Mrs Smith is pretty simple, a man is a spy and marries to a woman not knowing that she's a spy too. Apparently both of them are unaware of eachothers activities until their paths cross in their spy life, which leads to a lot of fighting and explosions. It's really not the action that makes this movie so much fun to watch but it's the humour. Mr & Mrs Smith is the type of movie that shows that a movie can be ten times better when the actors are actually enjoying themselves making this movie, instead ...

Sinful Sunday: Why are you so serious?

When I play a game I don't want to be serious, I just want to have fun and relax. Honestly real life is serious enough and I don't need that in games. Who cares who wins or who loses, just have fun and that already makes it great! Unfortunately there are gamers that take certain games way too serious, so serious that they literally forget to have fun which is quite frustrating to deal with. These kind of players are so serious that they probably left the fun behind when they started the game. Sigh... Serious gamers are lame gamers? There is nothing wrong about being serious, but I think there is a time and a place for everything. When I play a game with my friends then I'm not being serious nor am I serious when I start up some random multiplayer match. Sure it's nice to win but it's not everything! Things become more serious when there is something at stake, for example in ranked matches or during a tournament. I understand that things are more serious there an...
